Gold Standard Assessment

Measure Your Attentional Alertness

The Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT-B) is the scientific gold standard utilized by sleep research laboratories and aerospace industries to measure sustained attention, fatigue levels, and cognitive deficits resulting from sleep deprivation.

Task Instructions:

  • 1

    A red target box will appear on screen. Wait silently. Do not anticipate or click early.

  • 2

    As soon as a millisecond counter flashes inside the box, press the SPACEBAR or CLICK/TAP the screen as fast as possible.

  • 3

    Your reaction time (RT) will display. Reaction speeds slower than 500ms represent **lapses of attention** (micro-sleeps).
